Improvements

Missions

A new invasion mission on the beach in the “Invasion of Normandy” campaign has been added. You will start at a different section of the beach in Operation Neptune and will meet the already familiar town of Ver-sur-Mer.
Additional shelters and a number of visual improvements have been added to the ‘’Airfield’’ location in the ‘’Invasion of Normandy’’ campaign.

Gameplay

Sections of the interface have been hidden in the lone fighters mode. The damage from allies has been switched on. Players who repeatedly damage allies will lose some of their earned experience points and be removed from the game session.
By building a new rally point the old one will now be destroyed automatically.
Control point markers in Training will be now displayed on the mini-map.
A tutorial for navigating the game interface has been added upon reaching the second level of a campaign.
Ammo and healing requests are now blocked while the player is behind a stationary machine gun.
In the “Conquest” mode a message now appears indicating that the available squad respawns have been exhausted.
Operation of the console aiming assistant has been improved.
The crouch position can now be set to toggle separately from the crouch position on hold.

AI soldiers

AI soldiers will now change their holding position if the player gets close to them. Previously the AI soldiers stayed in cover and could interfere with the player’s position and line of sight.
The order to attack a vehicle will now be carried out by just one AI soldier able to perform the order, instead of the entire squad at once.
AI soldiers have received improved pathfinding and will no longer occasionally jump when respawning.

Only one artillery strike per team may now be active at any given time.
Artillery can no longer be activated during the first minute of the battle.
The preparation time for initial artillery ranging shots has been increased by 5 seconds.
Upgraded artillery now only gives a 4-fold reduction in the time between volleys (60 seconds instead of 48), rather than a 5-fold.

Economy

Experience standards in squad and lone fighter modes have been increased; the correlation between experience and points gained in the battle has been adjusted based on the battle statistics for these modes.

Sound

The sounds of shell explosions and artillery shots have been improved.
